Not to worry. The Democrats have fixed that. There will be plenty of "refugees" and illegal immigrants crossing our southern border to "pick up the slack" when people are locked out or just leave due to dropping wages and benefits. All YOU have to do is agree to work even cheaper than the scabs and foreign border jumpers that the Dems are now trying to bring in and justify. The Democrats do NOT "have your back" like they like to claim (and haven't for years). They just say that at every campaign cycle to get the needed votes and union contributions. The unions are no longer relevant since union membership is now at the lowest point in over 100 years (less than 6.7% in the private sector). Our borders are being flooded by potential cheap, non-union laborers and those that the Dems are counting on for votes. Political power is the most important thing for them. Power is money for THEM. Remember Hillary's promise of open borders, more regulations, no pipelines, less oil drilling, closure of coal mines and at least 500,000 more Middle East "refugees" in 2017 alone if she were elected? All that would have meant even fewer jobs and lower pay for real Americans, both union and non-union. Doesn't sound like the "WE HAVE YOUR BACK" promise given at all the Democrat political fund raisers at the many union halls. The "silent majority" of Americans and disgruntled workers like yourself that have figured this out voted for Trump, not because he was such a great potential leader, but because Hillary and the Dems have become anti-labor, anti-American and more worried about other countries' people than they are about the home grown Americans here that need help and good jobs. The sad part is that even after the drubbing they got at the last election - they still "just don't get it". The Dems and their supporters are still crying and rioting and blaming others instead of themselves.
A sobering 2015 statistic is that private sector union membership is now at only 6.7%, while the public sector unions (gov't workers, teachers, police, post office and most of Wash, DC) are covered by AFSCME and others are at 35.2%. The Dems know that private sector unions like the Teamsters just are not important to them anymore and the Freight Division is not important to Hoffa anymore. As members of the Freight Division, we are the "bottom feeders" of the 21 other divisions of the IBT and therefore are regarded as such by politicians and Hoffa. As I said before, there is nothing left of the Freight Division to manage. Mr Soehl is just there to "turn out the lights" when "The Fat Lady Sings".
